If Matt doesn't want it I'll let you know Scott. I just looked at some of the other disc's and I don't see a weight or what it is but one is a Glow 2004 Beaver State Fling "Oregon's First Super Tour". Kinda feels like a T Bird. Hmmmmm!

Bob

I'm not interested in the FL, thanks Bob. Now that possible Teebird...hmmmm. Guess I'll have to go through that stack in person.

Bob's in the running for yet another prize if he sells all those discs and donates the cash - Biggest Cash Donation is getting a pretty nice prize!

Local Eugene company and premier designers and producers of performance athletic clothing for serious outdoor enthusiasts, Sporthill is on board with sponsorship of the Eugene Disc Golf Club Ice Bowl 2012!

That raffle just keeps getting fatter.

If you wimp out because of the weather, I'll just buy more raffle tickets for myself!

Out of curiosity, what are the rules for the mulligans the first round going to be? i.e. Can you go get your errant throw/disc to re-tee? Or do you need to throw one of your remaining two discs? If not, that'll make using mulligans pretty rough the first round (as I'm guessing most players will be bringing a fairway, a mid, and a putter).. but otherwise it'll possibly slow the pace of play a bit.

Please don't take this personal but, this is close to a whine.
Again only poking fun.
Have fun!

It's a great question, and I'll go over this at the player's meeting. When I was thinking up ways to raise more money and have a fun format, I did not think this part through, but I believe it will work out nicely.

Because speed of play is going to be an issue, players will NOT be allowed to retrieve discs that go OB or for mulligans during the three disc round, unless they are out of discs. In other words, if all three of your discs go OB, or if you want to use a third mulligan on a hole, you may then retrieve a disc. When I say you may not retrieve your disc, I mean you may not retrieve it for your next throw and slow down the play. Obviously, you may retrieve your disc as play continues.

Mulligans are for tee-shots only, and must be declared and taken immediately following your throw - so no running down to get your disc and telling someone else to tee-off, either.

This does make mulligans somewhat less tempting during the three disc round, but it also makes them more strategic, because the course is going to be set up as short as possible (some short position collars are broken). So, you may want to save your mulligans for those holes where a mid-range or a putter is a good choice from the tee and can still yield a birdie. Of course, a stroke is a stroke, and if your tee shot is OB or just terrible, you'll probably still be able to salvage a three with good use of a mulligan, even if it means throwing a mid-range.

There's a little room for error here, as it may come up that someone throws OB during play, and could easily retrieve the disc without really slowing things down, but I think for consistency we'll have to have one interpretation. Since this is a fundraiser and more about coming together to have fun, do something positive for the community, and raise the profile of disc golf in our area, I am hoping we all act accordingly and it's not an issue.

By the way, during the three disc round, if you lose a disc you may not replace it. If you lose one, you play with two; if you lose two, you play with one. And I'm really hoping no one loses three. It seems unlikely.

It was a very good question! Some pre-event close-to-whining may be allowed, but this does not fall into that category.

Yep, twas a gudt question, actually all three were gudt questions.
I tried to highlight what IMO was close to being a whine.
With all this being said, Ice Bowl XXIII would like to donate a 2012 Ice Bowl towel to your event.
FWIW, a towel can make a gudt prize for a whiner winner.
Good Luck!

PS... keep a close eye and ear on those pre-event close-to whiners, as some are very, very experienced and actually make a life of it.
